Welcoming March, I'm planning some activities I'd like to get done. Some of my SP friends may remember last year's fence painting that I did. Well, now I am ready to apply wood sealer. First, over the side with the new fence which I want to r... Read more

I wasn't a "trekkie" until I met Gene Roddenberry, his wife, and Leonard Nimoy. Can't say I was a huge fan, but I became fond of the characters, especially Mr. Spock. RIP.

Looking at the month of February, I failed royally with one of my two goals. Less cheese for a cheese addict did not occur. My other goal was a personal one that I'm pleased to say I succeeded at achieving. I'm thrilled.

However, when I almost gave into them (coffee and sugar), I was so annoye... Read more

Yesterday I attended my first "real" Yoga class at another location and it was wonderful. ... Read more

I had to travel a bit of a distance for this one, but it was well-worth it. Only three people showed up, and two instructors, so there was a lot of personal attention to the moves.
It was such a good class that, when I got home, I called... Read more

Yesterday afternoon, I went to two nearby classes that are offered free throughout city libraries. I figured that I'd take my stress and burn it off with new activities.

First of all, I had a great hike on Monday.
I've had a super-duper tidal wave of stress since October. Lots going on that I can't really get into details here to protect privacy. It involves loved ones and the dreadful things that have b... Read more

Hi Everybody!
